Title

Description

3:15 P.M. The program originates from Indianapolis. Bing sings, "Don't Fence Me In" with special lyrics making fun of Frank Sinatra. The system cue is screamed at full voice by the announcer, but the chaos on the air is so loud, he's hardly heard. Bing declares that he's on NBC (the National Biscuit Company)! The recording then switches to a newscast.
